The editor of The Seventy Two guest blogs following his trip to watch the size of the task facing Steve Tilson at Sincil Bank<p>Somewhere amid the maze of terraced houses that leads to Lincoln City's Sincil Bank stadium, a cheerful-looking chap approached me with a knowing smile. He curled his hands until both thumbs met their middle fingers and held them out in front of me.</p><p>"Nil-nil," he said assuredly. "Can't score any goals."</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2010/oct/26/imps-lincoln">Continue reading...</a>LincolnFootballSportTue, 26 Oct 2010 09:00:00 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2010/oct/26/imps-lincolnPhotograph: Dean Mouhtaropoulos/Getty ImagesSteve Tilson must find a way to get Lincoln City scoring.

• Paulo Sousa talks of tough times for Leicester City<br />• Chris Sutton resigns as Lincoln City's manager<br />• Give us your thoughts on your team's midweek performance<p>Preston North End's result at Elland Road was glorious and ludicrous enough to be <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/football-league-blog/2010/sep/29/preston-north-end-leeds-united" title="worth a blog of its own">worth a blog of its own</a>, but there were a few other results worth mentioning, with the individual performance of the day probably reserved for the Carlisle United striker Gary Madine, who spent his day <a href="http://www.newsandstar.co.uk/news/prison-warning-for-carlisle-utd-player-gary-madine-after-he-admits-assault-1.762917?referrerPath=news" title="in court pleading guilty to a charge of causing actual bodily harm">in court pleading guilty to a charge of causing actual bodily harm</a> and his night scoring the first hat-trick of his career.</p><p>In the Championship, Leicester City fans, probably pretty glum already, are unlikely to be pleased to note that precisely 40 of the 92 teams in the Football League have conceded fewer goals all season than the 10 the Foxes have shipped in the last few days. In each of their last two matches, a 6-1 defeat to Portsmouth on Friday and a 4-3 reverse at Norwich City last night, they have given away a penalty for handball and had a man sent off – a habit they probably want to be getting out of pretty soon.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2010/sep/29/football-league-blog">Continue reading...</a>FootballChampionshipLeague OneLeague TwoCarlisleLeicester CityHull CityCoventry CityBrighton & Hove AlbionBournemouthRochdalePort ValeLincolnSportLeague One 2010-11League Two 2010-11Championship 2010-11Wed, 29 Sep 2010 11:24:56 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2010/sep/29/football-league-blogPhotograph: Christopher Thomond/GuardianCarlisle United – a club on the up after pulling off a 4-0 win at Hartlepool United.

• Wycombe and Torquay enjoy impressive victories<br />• Jake Robinson hat-trick for Shrews defeats Bradford<p>Charlie Griffin was the hero as <strong>Stevenage</strong> ended their first ever Football League game with a point following a 2-2 draw with <strong>Macclesfield</strong>. Peter Vincenti gave the hosts an early lead when he headed in Griffin's cross but Nat Brown soon headed in an equaliser. Emile Sinclair found Tyrone Bennett to put Macclesfield ahead from close range but Griffin pounced with a minute remaining.</p><p>Scott Rendell's cool penalty on his debut and a late solo goal from the substitute Jon-Paul Pittman gave <strong>Wycombe </strong>a 2-0 home victory over <strong>Morecambe</strong>. Rendell headed Kevin Betsy's cross wide but made amends from the spot after Matt Bloomfield had been tripped in the area by Chris Shuker. Ben Strevens curled a 20-yard shot against the crossbar before Pittman sealed the win with a sublime 25-yard effort.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/football-league-blog/2010/aug/07/charlie-griffin-stevenage-football-league">Continue reading...</a>League TwoStevenageMacclesfieldWycombeMorecambeBuryPort ValeSouthendStockportTorquay UnitedNorthamptonGillinghamCheltenhamChesterfieldBarnetRotherhamLincolnCrewe AlexandraHerefordShrewsburyBradfordFootballSportLeague Two 2010-11Sat, 07 Aug 2010 18:43:47 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/football/football-league-blog/2010/aug/07/charlie-griffin-stevenage-football-leaguePhotograph: Peter Cziborra/Action ImagesStevenage's Charlie Griffin celebrates his late equaliser against Macclesfield.
